How Your Immigration Physical Works
Plan on at least two visits. Please arrive 30 minutes early to the first one to fill out paperwork.
Visit 1: Paperwork and testing
A medical assistant reviews your documents, records them on your I-693 and starts the required testing, including blood work.
Visit 2: Civil surgeon exam
About 7 days later, once your lab results are back, the civil surgeon reviews your health history, completes a full physical exam and orders any vaccinations you still need. If your civil surgeon is male, a female staff member will be in the room for female patients.
Signing your forms
Once every report is in and reviewed, we will let you know your documents are ready to sign. Extra visits are occasionally needed depending on test results.
